Have the HP-3 headphones been completely discontinued?  I would love to find a walnut pair, but every place I find a listing says that they are back ordered.  Just wondering if there is some supply problem or if they are gone for good.

 

Thanks,

Ken

 

Last summer I ordered from Klipsch 2 sets of replacement pads (1 walnut/1 black) for my walnut HP-3's when I was got the feeling that Klipsch was discontinuing the HP-3's and wondering about availability of replacement parts.  When I finally was able to actually talk to someone to order them, I asked if they were discontinued and the rep said they weren't being made anymore, maybe they'd come out with a new model sometime in the future - not going to hold my breath on that.

 

Guess we should be glad they actually produced the HP-3 for sale.  The HP-1 and HP-2 they displayed at a couple of shows with the HP-3 never made it past that.

no problems whatsoever   with supply

 

 

These have been on backorder for months and months and months.  All kinds of problems with supply.  Nobody stocked very many of them as the price kept them from being wildly popular so everybody ran out at some point.

Don't quote me on this but I think the problem is that there was some kind of vendor issue and I think they hoped to switch vendors and spin them back up but it never happened.  There was a similar issue with the heritage headphone amp.  suddenly one day we realized that we couldn't get them anymore after we had waited quite awhile for the next shipment and realized it would never come, yet there was never any official "discontinued" designation.
